An Introduction to Dartmoor’s Geology
Josephine Collingwood
Josephine Collingwood is a Dartmoor aficionado, adventurer, rock climber, former Mountain Rescuer, wilderness addict, professional author and award-winning photographer!
Josephine graduated in geophysics from Southampton and later in photography from Plymouth.
Based near Tavistock, she has lived in or around Dartmoor National Park since 1983.
When not rock climbing or adventuring she photographs architectural properties and designs unique infographics, maps and poster art about Dartmoor.
Josephine’s publications include the Dartmoor Tors Compendium and the Official Visitor Guide to Dartmoor National Park.
She will present an illustrated talk covering Dartmoor’s world-class geology; its formation, characteristics and mineral legacy.
There will be plenty of bespoke illustrations, photographs of features, and yes, there will be photographs of rocks!
The talk will take you on a journey through deep time from Dartmoor’s earliest geological history to the present day.
If your curiosity is piqued when looking at the tor formations, sparkles in the ground and odd coloured rocks, then this talk is for you...
